1. When should I see a chest physician?

You should consult a chest physician if you experience frequent coughing, breathlessness, wheezing, chronic phlegm production or managing a long-term lung condition.

Asthma is usually triggered by allergens & can be controlled with medication. COPD is a progressive condition caused by smoking or long-term exposure to pollutants.
